Abstract

To know whether a given public transport vehicle will observe COVID-19 Ministry of Health Protocols and Guidelines in Kenya, a logistic expression was developed based on gender, type of vehicle, distance covered and the possibility of contracting COVID-19 by passengers while on board a given vehicle. Data collection was done by use 112 questionnaires administered on line. The respondents were first year students attending online courses in Kenyan University. Results showed majority of the respondents (41%) used 8-seater vehicle to travel. As for the distance travelled, majority of the respondents (37.3%) covered less than 25 km to reach their home County Headquarters. Possibility of infection in 8-seater and 32-seater vehicle was concentrated in level 3 while that for 14-seater was concentrated in Level 4. For 45-seater and 63-seater vehicles the possibility of infection was in level 2. A model efficiency of 84.8% was found indicating that the model is good. The results of this study provided information on behaviour of public transport sector in Kenya. © 2022, Paulus Editora. All rights reserved.

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，肯尼亚公共交通车辆遵守卫生部协议和指南的Logistic模型

为了解特定公共交通工具是否遵守肯尼亚卫生部COVID-19议定书和指南，根据性别、车辆类型、行驶距离以及乘客在特定车辆上感染COVID-19的可能性，开发了一个逻辑表达式。数据收集采用112份在线问卷。受访者是肯尼亚大学在线课程的一年级学生。调查结果显示，大部分受访者(41%)使用8座车辆出行。至于所走的距离，大多数受访者(37.3%)到达其家乡县总部的距离不到25公里。8座和32座车辆的感染可能性集中在3级，14座车辆的感染可能性集中在4级。45座和63座车辆的感染可能性为2级。模型效率为84.8%，表明该模型是良好的。这项研究的结果提供了有关肯尼亚公共交通部门行为的资料。©2022,Paulus Editora。版权所有。

期刊介绍： Publication of the journal started in 1974. Its original name was “KKU Engineering Journal”. English and Thai manuscripts were accepted. The journal was originally aimed at publishing research that was conducted and implemented in the northeast of Thailand. It is regarded a national journal and has been indexed in the Thai-journal Citation Index (TCI) database since 2004. The journal now accepts only English language manuscripts and became open-access in 2015 to attract more international readers. It was renamed Engineering and Applied Science Research in 2017. The editorial team agreed to publish more international papers, therefore, the new journal title is more appropriate. The journal focuses on research in the field of engineering that not only presents highly original ideas and advanced technology, but also are practical applications of appropriate technology.
